Hey, Cocktail fans, welcome back to the Blog. Today, we're going to show you how to make a Classic Margarita Cocktail and then give you a few Margarita Variations on how to create something even more exciting;

For the Classic Margarita, the Ingredients you will need;

• Margarita Glass
• 50ml Tequila of choice
• 25ml Triple Sec or Cointreau
• 25ml ODK Lime Juice
• Salt to Rim the Glass
• Frona Dried Lime

Rimming your Glass with Salt;

It's an age old tradition to Rim your glass with Salt, but things have moved on a bit now. Instead of normal boring Salt. Why not look at our range of Crazy Salts (and Sugars) from the Salty Rim Company. Some of the Flavours are fantastic for creating a WOW with Paying Guests or Friends!

How to make the Classic Margarita;

1. Salt Half the Rim of your Glass, just in case the person drinking doesn't like Salt!
2. Add the Tequila, Triple Sec and Lime to a Shaker with plenty of Ice
3. Shake Hard
4. Double Strain into your Margarita Glass
5. Garnish with a Frona Dried Lime
